Honda’s fairing can’t dissipate heat: “It’s unacceptable”
Honda’s Black Sunday can be summed up in one image: Pol Espargaró applying ice to his side and dipping his feet into a basin of freezing water. The RC213V’s fairing can’t dissipate heat, and on a hot day like the Sachsenring it’s a fatal flaw.
His team-mate Stefan Bradl, substitute for Marc Marquez, finished the race in pain, in sixteenth place: “It was terrible, unacceptable to have a fairing that can’t dissipate the heat. The Honda is undriveable when the temperatures are like this. You need to find a solution as soon as possible. You feel stupid when in the home Grand Prix you look like the last fool. After two laps I couldn’t pull the brake because my toes were burnt, after ten laps my foot too right was burned “, the words reported by Gpone.
